WRECK DIVING ON ST CROIX US VIRGIN ISLANDS

WRECK DIVING ON ST CROIX

There are five wrecks within about 100 yards of each other located at Butler Bay on St. Croix's west shore.

There's:

A 177' freighter (Rosao Maria)
A 144' trawler (Suffolk Maid)
2 tugboats (Northwind and one more)
An Oil barge (Virgin Islander)
In addition you can also see part of a hydrolab that was used by NOAA for submersion diving research.

Typically we dive the wrecks as two different dives.

Three Shallow wrecks including the trawler, oil barge, and a tug boat that was used as a prop in the movie "Dreams of Gold - The Mel Fisher Story".
In our twin Cat 5 storms in 2017 the trawler actually moved about 100' farther away from the other two.  The ability to dive all three wrecks on a single dive depends on conditions and diver's use of air.

Two deep wrecks. The freighter (it's deepest point is 108') and the newest wreck, a tug boat.

 There's some light penetration that can be done on some of the wrecks.
